Bomb attack on Kabul mosque 'kills 10 and injures more than 30': Memorial service for mother of Taliban's chief spokesman 'is targeted by ISIS militants' in Afghanistan capital

A bomb which targeted the entrance of a mosque in the Afghan capital of Kabul on Sunday has left a 'number of civilians dead', according to a Taliban spokesman.

The bomb targeted the Eidgah mosque where a memorial service was being held for the mother of Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahi and represents the first major attack of its kind in Afghanistan since the departure of US forces.

The Taliban say five people have been killed and 10 injured, but medical sources say the death toll stands at 10 with over 30 injured according to Al-Jazeera.

Taliban fighters were not harmed in the attack according to spokesman Bilal Karimi, who stated the casualties were civilians standing outside the mosque.

Responsibility for the attack was claimed by IS-K, the Islamic State affiliate in Khorasan Province.

Attacks against the Taliban by IS militants have increased since the Taliban swept to power in mid-August.
